I just went to the dentist. My bill, before insurance payment was about $220 (x-rays and cleaning). I noticed that a lot of people have terrible teeth but they’ll spend money on other things.
But if they spend money on dental care first, then they’ll be healthier. They just have to give up something else (perhaps cable TV or brand name clothing).
The same principle applies to society as a whole. We should prioritize health care at the top of the list of needs and cut back on things we don’t need.[/quote]
But you give these people a pass and say that they DON’T need to make this choice…that government should confiscate the money from other people (some who likely DO pay for their own healthcare and insurance) and give it to people, many of whom made the conscious choice to pay for their cable instead of health insurance.
